"Oh, a very straightforward answer." Norman Brook smiled, but said nothing special, "As a cabinet secretary, you need to have an overview of the overall situation. What do you think of the current situation? Whether it is against the enemy camp or against the free world."

"Actually, for the Soviet bloc, we can't fight against them in Europe. After all, people have to live on land." Alan Wilson pondered for a while, "But in other directions, we can take risks to a certain extent. Since We can’t solve the problem in the Soviet Union, so we have to find a way in other directions.”

At the critical moment, Alan Wilson still has to show reliability, and can't show any so-called objectivity and fairness.

The strategy of keeping an eye on the boss and hammering the second will not change, just like the 21st century.

And they all have a great chance of victory. Now that the Soviet Union is strong, it is not suitable for Europe and the Soviet Union to show signs of failure.

If you change to another place, you don't have to worry about the impact. Anyway, the overall economic strength of the free world is higher, and the more people die, the better. After all, it's just a number.

With the option of nuclear war, everyone may die together, while conventional war is much more certain.

Not only is it doing this now, but the United States will also do it decades later, but the battlefield is in Europe. In all fairness, the implementation of this strategy was a bit late. The Soviet Union was forced to join the Cold War when it did not recover from the Great Patriotic War.

This is completely different from being treated like this when an opponent in the 21st century has grown up.

At this moment, just like at that moment, from the perspective of the United States, what does it matter if the old continent dies in one billion or eight billion people? It is better for you all to die than for me to die.

"As for our camp, I feel that the United States may force the United Kingdom even more and tie the United Kingdom and the United States together. Although I have always advocated the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States, this time the Cuban missile crisis broke out. It is better not to let the United States' strategic weapons appear in the It is better on British soil. Britain will become a staunch ally of the United States, but we will not be slaves, and we will not sacrifice ourselves to fulfill the grand blueprint of the United States."

After finishing his thoughts, Alan Wilson felt a little nervous, wondering what Norman Brook would think.

"Rely on the powerful economic strength of the free world to suppress the Soviet Union, and use military power to bloodlet the Soviet Union's allies with some strength?" Norman Brook summed up and asked, "Is that so?"

"It's not the free world, it's the United States." Alan Wilson replied compassionately, "Being the boss has to be the boss. Britain must accept the reality. We are more suitable to be a firm ally now. Sometimes it is the United States, maybe sometimes It will still be French."

After careful consideration, although Alan Wilson wanted to regain the majesty of the empire on which the sun never sets, he had to accept the reality. Do you rule the world with one-third of the US economy? it's out of the question.

The military field has not been left behind, but only increased the weight of the United Kingdom, telling the United States that the United Kingdom is a force that can change the balance. Only in this way will the United States dare not go too far against the United Kingdom.

This answer made Norman Brook very satisfied, and he said with a glass of wine, "Okay, let's not talk about too serious things, today is just a casual chat, within two months, there may only be the Commonwealth Prime Ministers Meeting, and the United States It is worth caring about the negotiations. You should ask about the future. As a cabinet secretary, you need to stand firm in the face of politicians."

"Of course, this cannot be ambiguous at all." Alan Wilson said solemnly, "We must also pay attention to strategy, be gentle and sophisticated."

"Especially reliable!" Norman Brook added with a half-smile, "Therefore, I have the responsibility to recommend to the prime minister a cabinet secretary who fully meets these conditions."

"This? I don't know now, is there any?" Alan Wilson's heart was pounding, and there was a rare trace of tension.

"You see, the true meaning of our business is not to find the right answer, but to find the right question." Norman Brook said calmly with a reminder, "Let's see who can find the key question."

Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows and drank the liquid in the glass. He understood, "By the way, Sir Norman, let's change the question now. What are you going to do after you retire?"

"Very good question, very good question, maybe there is something to do." Norman Brook said to himself with a thoughtful face.

"Maybe there's something for you to do, to keep serving your country, no matter who your successor is. Maybe someone's going to play for you, uh, to convince you to take it."

Norman Brooke nodded, and said with approval, "I do have some plans. You see, someone asked me to be the chairman of Lloyds Bank, and British Petroleum also has a place for me. But I think, if I can work in the royal family's non-profit Chairing a sexual institution should reflect my loyalty to the royal family. Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, if possible? Vice-Governor of the Bank of England too?"

"Very challenging!" Alan Wilson added with a laugh.

"Challenging, very good." Norman Brook was very happy, "and the chairman of the National Security Council. The chairman of the Overseas Supervision Committee?"

"Opportunities to benefit the public." At some point, Alan Wilson took out the diary he carried with him, "I think someone will arrange these tasks for you."

"If Allen can think so, I'm very relieved." Norman Brook nodded, "Actually, I'm old, and many things have been observed inaccurately. Some suggestions that may have been made, If it is known by the public, there will be some misunderstandings. You also know that the times have changed. Under the circumstances at that time, those suggestions were very responsible and very reasonable.”

"It's like this. We can't look at the situation at that time from the current perspective." Alan Wilson nodded in approval.

"It's like suppressing a strike movement. Of course, for safety reasons, you should be armed appropriately, but is it recommended to be equipped with heavy machine guns?"

Allen Weir replied solemnly, "There is absolutely no need to disclose this matter. There is no need for citizens to know. What do these stupid people know? They don't know that they are alive after waking up, eating, and sleeping."

"There are still some colonial matters. Some so-called enlightened people may find it unacceptable. I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commonwealth Affairs will merge soon. If there is one person who can be the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth?"

"I really can't imagine that there is anyone more suitable for the Secretary-General of the Commonwealth than Sir Norman." Alan Wilson said in amazement, "The Secretary-General of the Commonwealth needs to mediate the affairs of the Commonwealth countries, and he must have superb skills and keen judgment Rich management experience, others are not suitable."

"Do you think so too?" Norman Brook nodded with a smile, "Then I will lend you a good word..."

"I think a qualified successor will definitely take care of these matters for Jazz, and talk about the Commonwealth of Nations. In fact, Sir Norman, as you know, there is a comprehensive group in this country with a wide range of design businesses, including automobiles, chemicals, etc. , steel, oil mining, and even food security, aircraft manufacturing.”

"Having said that, an enterprise that is so important to the country deserves special love from the government. Of course, the owners of this enterprise have always been high-spirited and honest, relying entirely on their own personal abilities to benefit the UK. But as a British-owned Enterprises have such an important position, we can’t ignore them just because they don’t need them, the government has always supported the development of star enterprises.”

Norman Brooke nodded and promised, "That's right. Even if such an enterprise doesn't need anything, the country should give it proper support and protection. Otherwise, it will affect all aspects of the UK. Whether it is the aristocracy or the working class public."

"Of course, I have nothing to do with this company, but according to some unverifiable rumors, this company needs an executive director who cares about overall development, rather than minor adjustments." Ai Ren Wilson followed the temptation, "I have a feeling that the Jazz's retirement life will be more colorful."

"Oh, yes, it sounds exciting." Norman Brook poured another glass, and then his face straightened, "Most of my colleagues and I agree that you are the first candidate for the cabinet secretary. Age There will be some minor disputes, but Whitehall also needs a young face to inform the outside world of Whitehall's determination to be younger."

"I don't know how many candidates there are?" Alan Wilson thought it would be better to ask important questions so that he could have a better idea.

"For the time being, I can't think of anyone else." Norman Brook replied in a reassuring tone.

"Dear Sir~lightnovelpub.net~ I have another suggestion now. Can a new department be established called the Freedom of Information Movement Association." Alan Wilson said, "Today's opposition party is tomorrow's ruling party, If Whitehall does this, it may make those politicians who are full of approval ratings suspicious, but if the association is led by someone who has faded from the public eye, the resistance will be much smaller. Freedom of information can also be guaranteed not to be abused. "

"Great idea!" Norman Brook shook his head and sighed. He was more satisfied with the next cabinet secretary, and raised his glass. "To the reliable government passed down from generation to generation, cheers."

"I also respect freedom of information." Alan Wilson also raised his glass, and the two exchanged glances, "National interests are the criterion."

Alan Wilson was very sincere at the moment, and left Norman Brooke's house drunk. The weight of his entire body was supported by Vivien Leigh's petite body, and he was still vague about dreams and blueprints.

"Okay, now I know your dream and your blueprint." Da Yingbao supported the man's body, comforting him like a good wife and mother, and helped the man to the bedside.

Alan Wilson held Vivien Leigh in his arms, "Vivian, let me hug you for a while."
